There is no realdifficulty with this valve however it looks complicated the secrete is to referto the exploded drawing of the valve remove one seal at a time match it withthe new seal and fit it, just take lots of photos as you strip it down you canthen refer to them when you are rebuilding.

This sounds more difficult than itactually is, however you do have to be methodical noting the order and orientationof all the parts when  you are strippingthe valve.
